Skrtel for two more years

Defender Martin Skrtel has signed a two-year extension to his contract.

The Slovakia international had two years remaining on his previous deal but has now committed to Anfield until 2014.

Skrtel told the club’s website: “Before I came here a lot of people thought I wasn’t good enough to play for Liverpool, but I think I have shown I am.

“I’m happy to try and carry on giving good performances and doing my best for the club.

“Signing a new contract gives me confidence and I will work hard in training every day to play as many games as possible.

“You can always improve. I know the good and bad parts of my game and I will keep working.”

The 25 year old joined the Reds in a £6million move from Zenit St Petersburg in January 2008. (Source)
